Vicky had to undergo his fair share of struggles before making it big in Bollywood. He started his journey by assisting Anurag Kashyap on 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' and worked his way up until people believed that the guy could really act.
Not many are aware that Vicky is the son of one of the most famous stunt directors in Bollywood, Shyam Kaushal, but that did not necessarily spell out success for him. His journey has been his personal struggle.
In a recent interview, Vicky was asked to read and comment on some of the remarks made by people on social media. While there were many compliments for him, some were plain harsh words. One comment read as follows
“He doesn't have hero face...a common punjabi ladka yes but he has filmy background bas utna hi kaafi hai aaj bollywood me." Vicky had a very thoughtful reply to it and said “Okay, so apart from the last line, 'utna hi kaafi hai Bollywood mein,' I think there's nothing wrong in what he said. I don't have a filmy face or a hero face."
However, Vicky was not okay with being accused of nepotism and was quick to react to that statement with a justified answer. "Sir, you are most welcome in Bollywood and try and survive a week and we will have a cup of coffee together and I will ask you the same question," he said.

'Uri' has already crossed the 200 crore mark and his previous outings, 'Raazi', 'Manmarziyaan' and even his role in 'Lust Stories' have been a major hit with the audience. While we get that the air of nepotism is very strong in Bollywood, maybe Vicky is not a by-product of that factory after all.

After the infamous bout between the Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov and the 'Notorious' Conor McGregor, which got out of hand within two minutes of McGregor tapping out as Nurmagomedov leapt over the octagon and attacked two of McGregor's men.
The incident led to the two rivals getting into a lot of trouble, as Khabib was banned for nine months with a hefty fine of $500,000 while McGregor was suspended for six months with a $50,000 fine off his match fee by the NAC for their roles in the UFC 229 post-fight melee.
However, it seems that while Nurmagomedov is spending his days of asylum in quiet, McGregor is out already searching for his next prey.
The name of McGregor's potential next target is Kelvin Gastelum, the new UFC middleweight champion who won the title by forfeit after his opponent and former champion Robert Whittaker was ruled out of the main event of UFC 234 on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia after being diagnosed with a hernia and had to undergo immediate surgery.
McGregor did not approve of the fact that Gastelum was practically gifted the title without even throwing a single punch and showed his disapproval on Twitter in the most 'Conor McGregor' way he could:
Why is that worm holding the 185lb belt? There are worms crawling on his skin! It was absolutely ludicrous to even consider allowing him to compete. Let alone now walk around the arena shaking our fans hands. Someone sort this, this instant. And sterilize that belt. Immediately.
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) February 10, 2019
Calling Gastelum a 'worm', McGregor took a jab at the champion after he was trolled online for having some dermatologic issues.
Formerly working as a bounty hunter, the current UFC middleweight champion, Kelvin Gastelum fought his first professional battle in Mexico in 2010 against Jose Sanchez, who submitted to Gastelum after a barrage of punches destroyed his face.
He made his UFC debut in January 2013 during the Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs Team Sonnen and went on to win the Ultimate Fighter contest to become the youngest ever to do while having a brand new UFC contract under his belt.
Ever since his debut, Gastelum has entered the ring a total of 19 times out of which he's won 16 and lost the remaining three.
After the McGregor tweet, the fighter in Gastelum confidently replied to the notorious one:
Come take it off.... Little prick! https://t.co/823ptmymr8
— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) February 10, 2019
Is this the comeback fight we are looking forward to as Conor's return is due in March?
McGregor's provocative tweet for the champ comes after he commended Anderson Silva's losing efforts in the battle against Israel Adesanya which replaced the Gastelum-Whittaker bout Down Under.
A couple of weeks ago, McGregor also tickled the thought of fighting 'The Cowboy' Donald Cerrone after his impressive knockout victory over Alexander Hernandez in January.

After overcoming his suspension in lieu of his objectionable comments on 'Koffee With Karan', Hardik Pandya has returned to the Indian cricket team with better focus and more determination. The Indian all-rounder claimed two crucial wickets on his return during the third One-Day International (ODI) against New Zealand, and then followed it up with six wickets and 65 runs in his next four international matches.
In the first Twenty20 International (T20I) against New Zealand, Hardik stuttered with the ball, going for 51 runs in four overs - becoming the most expensive Indian bowler in the shortest format against the Kiwis. But, then, Hardik wasn't the only one who got whacked that day, pretty much, every bowler did.

A post shared by Hardik Pandya (@hardikpandya93) on Feb 5, 2019 at 6:31pm PST
Following India's comprehensive defeat at the Westpac stadium, Hardik was seen chilling out with his teammates in a much-needed break. The Baroda cricketer shared a photo of himself alongside his brother Krunal, MS Dhoni, Shubman Gill and Kedar Jadhav. "Some food and lots of laugh ?? @mahi7781 @shubmangill @kedarjadhavofficial @krunalpandya_official," Hardik captioned the picture on Instagram.
But, the social media trolls were quick to take a dig at the Indian cricketer and reminded him of his nightmarish episode on 'Koffee With Karan'. While some advised him to order 'coffee', others, once again, slammed him for his sexist remarks on the popular chat show.
An Instagram user wrote: "Koffee Lelo Bhai", while another one posted: "Aaj main bina kare aaya". There was another comment: "You're disgusting wonder how people live with an obnoxious sh*t like you", which highlighted that people are still angry at the Indian cricketer.
While Hardik might take a while to strike a chord with fans again, he will be required to pull up his socks when India takes on New Zealand in the second T20I - a must-win clash for the visitors to stay alive in the three-match series - at Eden Park in Auckland on 8th February.

The Indian cricket team has been on a roll recently. Making and breaking precious world records while dominating over their competition in some of the greatest teams of the world like Australia and New Zealand, in every format of the game, the Men in Blue are stronger than ever.
After winning their first ever Test series against Australia on their home turf and defeating the Kiwis in an ODI series in New Zealand for the first time in nearly a decade, the 'Josh' is high in Virat Kohli and his boys.
But just like a proud parent, Indian head coach Ravi Shastri just cannot hide his happiness while talking about his team.
Just yesterday, Shastri publicly advocated Kuldeep Yadav as India's number one spinner abroad after his impressive run in Australia and New Zealand which also included a five-wicket haul in the fourth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
India bowl Australia out for 300! Kuldeep Yadav led the attack with a brilliant five-wicket haul on Day 4 at the SCG. The hosts are still trailing by 322 runs and India enforce the follow-on.#AUSvIND LIVE â¬ï¸https://t.co/c2fCH8UcMc pic.twitter.com/M8kXGjiYnS

"Already! He plays overseas Test cricket and he gets five wickets, so he becomes our primary overseas spinner. Going ahead, if we have to play one spinner, he is the one we will pick," he told Cricbuzz.
And today, the coach compared India's greatest batsman of the new generation, Virat Kohli to the timeless Sir Vivian Richards. After Kohli became the first batsman to win the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year, ICC Test Cricketer of the Year as well as ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year in a single year last month, Shastri has gone gaga over the man.
"Virat Kohli is a guy who is as dominant as Sir Vivian Richards" – Ravi Shastri says the India captain is the 'closest' he's seen to the Windies legend. READ â¬ï¸ https://t.co/JFENN2gcBc pic.twitter.com/sBFdbRATPK

“Here is a guy who is as dominant as Sir Vivian Richards. The closest I have seen to the great man. Virat is in your face, he wants to dominate and has a work ethic like no one else. Whether it comes to discipline, training, sacrifice or self-denial, it is unbelievable,” the fanboy in Shastri expressed to Cricbuzz.
Shastri's has also shown love towards the team as a whole. “We're not the underdogs,” he had proudly acclaimed after the Test series win against the Aussies while also declaring that it was “as big, or even bigger” than the 1983 World Cup.
Incredible effort by #TeamIndia to take a 2-1 lead, especially @Jaspritbumrah93 who has played an instrumental role in this win. He has gone from strength to strength in all formats of the game. Definitely one of the best in the world today. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/vweoHd0nEE
— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) December 30, 2018
Shastri has been known for making controversial comments more often than not but with the recent success the Indian cricket team is enjoying, we think he should be allowed to pour his heart out to his boys just like a proud dad would do.
Know the feeling? Yeah, neither do we...

Dale Steyn, with his scary eyes, throbbing veins and an intimidating chainshaw celebration, has established his reputation as one of the most feared fast bowlers in the modern era of cricket. On the back of extreme pace, troublesome swing and pin-point accuracy, Steyn has managed to get the better of some of the best in the business.
But, the South African speedster's injury concerns saw him missing out on majority of the games in recent times. Now, fully fit and raring to go at the batsmen, Steyn is back to doing what he does best - cutting a sorry figure for his opponents. During the first three Tests against Pakistan, Steyn was amongst the leading wicket-takers, claiming 12 scalps at an average of 29.
While he was rested for the remaining two Tests and the first two ODIs, Steyn's fiery attitude and ability to silence his critics, once again, came to the fore. This time, off the field.
Okay that's enough from me. Watching this Test from the comfort of my couch, did I just become a armchair critic? #WhoAmI
— Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) January 31, 2019
Enjoying his time away from the game, Steyn took to Twitter and updated his fans about his whereabouts. "Okay that's enough from me. Watching this Test from the comfort of my couch, did I just become a armchair critic?" he tweeted.
You sure need some comfort after that spanking by Babar Azam in the Test series.
— BernaLeo (@MQunClub91011) January 31, 2019
While many showered praise on the right-arm seamer, reminding him of his feats, one cricket fan tried to take a dig at the South African with a cheeky tweet. "You sure need some comfort after that spanking by Babar Azam in the Test series," the fan tweeted.
Yes, 3-0 in the test series is a proper spanking. #burn
— Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) January 31, 2019
In response, Steyn minced no words in giving a befitting reply: "Yes, 3-0 in the test series is a proper spanking #burn".
The 35-year-old was talking about the 3-0 whitewash that the Proteas had handed to the touring Pakistani brigade in the Test series that was concluded last month.

Taking to social media, as is the norm for newly-married celeb couples these days, he posted a picture of them sipping on some hot cocoa or coffee (we don't know and we are just assuming it) in a normal sized mug. Now, you may be wondering why this simple picture has gone viral. Well, take a look for yourself.

It literally looks like a tiny shot glass or an optical illusion in his large hand! The picture has created so much buzz, that there is a whole dedicated Reddit thread for it ! Obviously, people have mixed emotions and various opinions the unbelievable image.
Well, you have to admit that this picture is kind of funny and he looks so big in comparison to that tiny mug, that we literally want to use him as a measurement scale!
He has also been tagged as the strongest man in the world and holds the title of the 'Arnold Classic Champion 2018' as well.

After the ban on the Indian cricketers was lifted, things are looking to be on a rise for pace bowler, Hardik Pandya, who has been included in the main Indian cricket team for their tour to New Zealand and has proven himself to be crucial during the two matches that he has played in, while his partner in crime, KL Rahul continues to find a dark cloud hovering above his head.
2019 has not been kind to the Indian batsman who has experienced one adversity after another. Even before the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) and the Committee of Administration (CoA) put up sanctions on the opener, Rahul was amidst a bad form during the four-match Test series against Australia.
During the first Test Down Under at the Adelaide Oval, after scoring a decent 44 of 67 balls in his first innings, Rahul's ill-formed stint started in the second innings, when he got caught out on the eighth ball on a Josh Hazlewood delivery.
Ever since, the Mangalore-born has not spent a lot of time at the crease. In the second Test, in Perth, Rahul was sent back to the dressing room on a duck and on 2 runs in the first and second innings respectively.
After being dropped by the team in the third match, Rahul was brought back for the fourth and final match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The fact that this match was extremely important for India to finally win a Test series on Australian soil played a huge role in the selectors facing a lot of hate online for Rahul's re-entry.
People were sceptical of Rahul as he had disappointed the team with his consistently bad performances and their scepticism was bang on as yet again, Rahul was dismissed cheaply.
A few days ago, when the CoA decided to put an end to the suspension, they asked Rahul to join Rishabh Pant and Ajinkya Rahane in the India A team for a five-match one-dayer series against the England Lions. With the 2019 World Cup approaching, the BCCI is trying to bring back Rahul's lost confidence as he is considered to be a key role-player for the WC roster.
Alas, Rahul is seemingly nowhere close to his glory days as he looked uncomfortable against the Lions from the get-go and got caught out by Zak Chappell off Jamie Overton after scoring only 13 runs, albeit scoring two boundaries.

Although India A have won the first three unofficials to book the series in their favour, Rahul's bad form is a matter of huge concern for the cricketer.
In a country where literally thousands of extremely talented cricketers are standing in the line, hungry to get that one opportunity to show their worth, a dark stint like Rahul's can lead a career down to the ground, no matter how remarkable it once used to be.

Sometimes, it's better to be a gracious loser than to be a vicious winner. And especially when you're someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who is renowned for his honesty both on and off the cricket field.
Despite taking Saurashtra to the final by scoring a blistering 131, Pujara was booed by the crowd as a 'cheater'. After grabbing the man of the series in last month's epic triumph over the Aussies it was a complete shocker to see Pujara get booed on his home ground.
This happened on the second day of the match when Pujara had gloved a threatening delivery from Abhimanyu Mithun. The opponents started to celebrate but the batsman didn't leave his crease thanks to Saiyed Khalid, the umpire who didn't hear the edge.

And to make the narrative more dramatic, the same incident occurred again in the second innings, when Pujara was on 29 and this time, with Vinay Kumar on the balling end. Moreover, he went on to score an unbeaten century and carried Saurashtra on his shoulders to the Finals by beating Karnataka.
Everything has limits. It was second time in the match that he nicked a ball to the keeper. And collectively third umpiring error against Karnataka. And fourth one in whole match...#RanjiTrophy #KARvSAU #Pujara pic.twitter.com/pY1gv2g7p7
— Cricfan ð (@Cricfan007) January 27, 2019
However, when you've earned the status of the 'Second Wall', then you've got to stand by it as well. And that is something Pujara missed out on in this clash.
This incident not only irked Karnataka supporters, but also led to his own fans turning on him. Here are some reactions where people bashed Pujara:
Sorry Pujara you have lost our respect... Yes it was not by rules, but you could have shown some dignity. Because people idolizes you to the greats. **** the spirit of sportsmanship... Dear @BCCI shame on you... #KARvSAU #RanjiTrophy #Pujara

Once again, the Indian bowling side looks to win the game for Virat Kohli as Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami are getting the best of the Kiwi batsmen early.
Apart from the veteran in Ross Taylor who stuck around at the crease a lot longer than anyone else, no one, including the openers who disappointed their team yet again, was able to stay on the pitch for more than 15 minutes.
However, the greatest highlight of the morning came at the hands of the brand new inclusion in the squad in Hardik Pandya who replaced the 28-year-old Vijay Shankar for the second and third ODIs.
In the 17th over, with New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on strike, Chahal bowled a beautiful leg-spin to trap the skipper who, in an attempt to flick it over the long on, missed the spot. Unable to hit the ball with the centre of the bat, it travelled a shorter distance to the silly mid on and into the hands of a flying Hardik Pandya who was literally horizontal in the air during the catch.

What's more is that the Indian pacer rocked the catch with a perfect 'superhero landing' at the end.
The staggering mid-air catch reached out to the fans of Indian cricket, who also turned out to be DC Comics worshippers, seeing the reflections of the Man of Steel in Pandya:

After what has been a nightmare of a month for Pandya, he looks focused. Dismissing Taylor in the 2nd ODI and taking two more wickets in the third, he is doing good on getting his form back after being benched for nearly four months due to a back injury and a suspension.
The Kiwis are all wrapped up for 243 in the third ODI as Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan come out to bat. India lead the league 2-0 in the five-match series.

During the first of five ODI series between India and New Zealand, the Kiwis found themselves to be struggling early to find steady ground to tread on as an opener and all-time great Martin Guptill was stunned by Indian bowler Mohammed Shami in his first over.
Fresh after a rewarding tour Down Under, where Shami proved to be extremely efficient as the fourth best bowler during both the Test and ODI series, Shami looked hungry for wickets as he came in on the attack and succeeded in registering his first scalp of the day by bowling out Guptill with an in-swing.
100 ODI wickets and counting for @MdShami11 ðð#TeamIndia #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/3RVvthg1CH
— BCCI (@BCCI) January 23, 2019
With this wicket, Shami broke Irfan Pathan's record to become the fastest Indian bowler to take 100 One Day International wickets. While Pathan achieved this feat in 59 matches, Shami reached the landmark in 56 ODIs.
Along with the two pacers, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar and Javagal Srinath make the list of the five fastest Indian bowlers to take 100 ODI wickets who did it in 65, 67 and 68 ODIs respectively.
In the international scenario, Shami ranks sixth overall, tied with his current competitor, Kiwi Trent Boult while 2018's Afghani sensation, Rashid Khan leads the list, who required only 44 ODIs to establish the record.
Shami went on to bag two more wickets of the second opener Colin Munro and Mitchell Santner as New Zealand were all out for a meagre total of 157 runs.

On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav, who has also been one of the leading wicket-takers for the Indian cricket team in recent times, scalped four impressive wickets including those of the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, who was the leading scorer for the Kiwis with 64 runs.

This weekend turned out to be a very special day for the Indian film fraternity, when the who's who of Bollywood industry came together for the inauguration of India's very first cinema museum.
Called the National Museum of Indian Cinema, it was inaugurated by none other than PM Modi in Mumbai on Saturday. Multitudes of film and TV stars were in attendance at the event, right from veteran actors Manoj Kumar, Jeetendra to Karan Johar, Imtiaz Ali, Dinesh Vijan, Kartik Aryan, Aamir Khan, Kangana Ranaut, and even Kapil Sharma and Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal, amongst others.
The wonderful city of Mumbai is now home to the excellent National Museum of Indian Cinema. Here are some pictures. pic.twitter.com/F9Jb9tM8IB

However, it isn't the inauguration which is getting all the attendance like it should, but rather the selfies and “backfies” with PM Modi after the event which has left the Internet in splits. Because of the many celebrities who attended the event, and given Prime Minister's tight schedule, some celebs didn't get the opportunity to get clicked with Modi, and they decided to make do with “backfies” instead.
So while Kapil Sharma got lucky and shared a few moments talking to the PM, what followed next was that we got to know that Modi also had a fanboy moment when Kapil Sharma posted a picture of the duo, and praised Modi's sense of humour.
Respected pm Sh @narendramodi ji,it was nice meeting u n great knowing ur inspiring ideas and progressive views about our film industry and our nation. N sir I must say u have a great sense of humor too! regards ð pic.twitter.com/2fDpGC2qwh

Modi's response to this tweet is all the proof we need:

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 20, 2019
However, unlike Kapil, other celebs didn't get the chance to click a selfie with the PM, and instead took consolation in a “backfie” with him. Imtiaz Ali posted the said backfie on Instagram, which was then reposted on Twitter by Kartik Aryan, and snap came Modi's witty reply.
Check out what they said:

We say that it isn't just Kapil or Imtiaz who can crack a good joke, isn't it? Because PM Modi just owned it with his tweets.

It's honestly a struggle for women to find a man who will fit into the bracket of being the perfect husband.
Obviously, it works both ways but since we love writing for men, let us tell you that women, inevitably, when they start dating you, skim through your qualities so that you fit the relationship quotient.
Apart from being charismatic, confident and good in bed, there are numerous other qualities you should possess to make a good husband to a woman who deserves your effort.

Mostly, we all are under the misconception that women and men alike date partners that are different from the partners they chose when they want to get married. While it may be true in some cases, most cases, we believe, you'd want that constancy in your life of having to wake to the same person every day.
So, if you're a man looking to finally plunge into the marriageable route, you need to be ready for that and have certain qualities that make women want to get married too, to gravitate towards you.
Here are 5 essential qualities you should possess in order to make a good husband:
(1) Be There For Her Even When It's Inconvenient For You
Yes, I know you'd ask that why do you have to be there all the time and that you too have a life that's equally important. Some may even counter saying she likes her independence so why do you need to bend over backwards to do things for her.
But you see, partnerships require compromise and sacrifice and you're not choosing to date her but spend your life with her.
There are times when she may fall weak. Like when she's having a baby with you or when she's going through menopause. You can't leave her in these tough times and venture off thinking you have a life of your own.
You have bigger responsibilities towards your partner now and it's good to start displaying them when you're in a relationship with her, in order for her to know, you'll be around through thick and thin.

(2) You Have To Accept Her Flaws
Maybe when you're dating someone you can count their flaws and tell them to make correctives. But if you're seriously considering spending your life with someone and hoping they see you the same way, then you need to accept their flaws and accept who and what they are.
If you want to address them so the person knows a few things are unruly, then you should do that. But make sure you do it without making her feel guilty that she has flaws in the first place.
She shouldn't be hiding her true self from you because she thinks you may not accept her. Make your acceptance of her as an important person in your life, from the start.

(3) A Keen Sense of Responsibility Is Important
You can be enamoured by her, profess all your love towards her but if you're not responsible, there is no way she's ever going to consider marrying you.
She sees responsibility as an inevitable bargain between two people in a relationship. It gives her direction towards the future. If you show her you're a responsible human being, she will want to pursue the idea of you, in her future.
For her, responsibility from you goes synonymously with nurturing and taking care of the children you may want to have, of the future you two hold and other important aspects in a marriage.
So, it's time you pull up your socks and gather a sense of being responsible, not just for you, but for her too.

(4) You Need To Be Open In Your Communication
Communication can get tough sometimes when you need to open up about yourself, but in a relationship which is serious, that's something which should be involuntary.
If you don't open up and communicate your hopes, fears and dreams then the relationship is quite superficial. Sometimes the best people move away because there isn't any communication between them.
If you and she have trouble opening up about things and healthily communicating, maybe find ways to do so more effectively. Communication is the key to a good and harmonious relationship.

(5) Infidelity Doesn't Make A Good Husband
Men always tend to lean toward infidelity. There isn't an established reason for it yet, but somewhere down the line, cheating becomes inevitable. It's not blaming or something to pinpoint. It's a fact and if you think one woman is never enough for you, you probably need to either communicate that with your partner or move away.
You can even see if you want to be in an open relationship/marriage with her, in case you do want her in your life but can't trust yourself enough. That way, you're honest to her about things. But make sure the decision to do that is mutual. Most marriages break because of infidelity and if you're someone who cheats, it's good to spell it out way before.

Making these characteristic changes is not easy, I agree, but sometimes things need to be mended to make space for newer, better things.
If you feel you're someone who can change to adapt and bring in a truer sense of companionship to your life, then try and make these changes and one day you will make a great husband to someone!

Elon Musk is pretty active on Twitter and regularly replies to people who tweet to him, but turns out his replies actually help him make more money as well. Yep, who would've thought that just his reply would encourage someone to buy a Tesla? But it's Elon Musk and anything related to him never fails to surprise us.
So, this all started back in October when professional Fortnite player Turner 'Tfue' Tenney tweeted to Elon Musk asking if he can help him get better internet. Pretty normal, right? People tweet to each other all the time. Elon even replied to him.
Yes
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 15, 2018
But, turns out that simple 'yes' meant a lot to Tfue and he promised to buy a Tesla just because Elon replied. I mean, Elon is a pretty busy person, of course, so it means a lot to get a reply from him.
I'm gonna buy a @Tesla now because you replied ðð»
— Tfue (@TTfue) October 15, 2018
Fast forward three months and Tfue has lived up to his tweet from October and has bought a Tesla!
This car is incredible ðð» @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/pmUR0v3bNk
— Tfue (@TTfue) January 15, 2019
He actually did it! I mean, we all know it's a great car and Tfue was probably planning on buying it anyway but with the tweets, it became one hell of a story about a car.
The best part, though, is that Elon again replied to him! Does this man just live on Twitter?
Glad you like it https://t.co/7FbQc0M9M5
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 15, 2019
But, does this second reply mean Tfue has to buy another car? I hope so, just because it'll be so funny.
Moreover, this also has the potential to turn into a new innovative sales strategy where Elon can just sell so many cars by just replying to people on Twitter.

Tom Cruise is a man of unparalleled and unmatched talent and is one of those few actors who are ready to go to extreme levels to give their 100% to any movie. Honestly, sometimes I feel that living like Cruise, for even a day, is like walking on live landmines (with safety measures though, if that helps!)

After crashing into a wall in London and getting badly injured during the shoot, performing high-octane stunts like HALO jump despite an injury, dangling from a plane, jumping 25000 feet over 100 times to get one stunt right for 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout', Tom Cruise is back in action once again as Ethan Hunt.

Tom Cruise aka Agent Ethan Hunt has accepted two new impossible missions, which are expected to hit the theatres in the summer of 2021 and 2022. Both the movies will be shot back to back. Christopher McQuarrie, who directed 2018's 'Mission Impossible: Fallout' and 2015's 'Mission: Imossible - Rogue Nation', will wear the Director's hat for MI 7 and MI 8 as well. McQuarrie tweeted saying "Missions: Accepted #MissionImpossible".
Missions: Accepted#MissionImpossible

Every time I talk about Tom Cruise and MI series, I can't help but brag about how much respect this man commands, for pulling off life-risking stunts. If there's anyone who can ever beat Tom Cruise in pulling off difficult scenes, it's probably Tom Cruise himself.

At a time when the comments made by Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul at film director and actor Karan Johar's talk show, 'Koffee With Karan' have made for one of the most trending issues buzzing all around, a lot of people were wondering what the Indian skipper, VIrat Kohli, had to say about the whole matter.
After the 24-hour show cause notice levied by BCCI during which Pandya and Rahul were ordered to present their justification towards the indecent remarks made by the duo at the chat show, both the cricketers have been banned for two ODI matches upon the recommendations made by the Committee of Administrations Chairman, Vinod Rai.
In the latest occurrence, the captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli, who had kept himself completely aloof of the whole issue, finally spoke on behalf of the entire squad.
“We, definitely, as the Indian cricket team do not support views like that and that has been communicated,” Kohli said in a media coverage at the Sydney Cricket Ground ahead of the three-game ODI series against Australia. “I can definitely say that as the Indian cricket team and responsible cricketers we definitely don't align with those views and those are purely individual views.”
But the additional comments made by Kohli is what makes him a great team leader. In an atmosphere of high tension where everyone is shaming Pandya and Rahul, Virat while showing his disagreement to their comments, didn't abandon them.
“... the two concerned players felt what has gone wrong and they have understood the magnitude of what's happened,” Kohli didn't forget to mention. “Definitely, it has to hit anyone hard, they will definitely understand the things that have not gone right.”
Kohli's take on the entire issue speaks volumes about his evolution as an aware captain. He feels responsible for his team both on and off the field and has been with them during the harshest of times.
It's time for ODI cricket. Who do you reckon will lift this trophy after the end of the 3rd game.#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/ESskDamvDj

Consecutively, the absence of the two extremely talented cricketers, especially the all-rounder in Hardik Pandya will leave a deep void in the roster, filling which will be a real task for the team.
Meanwhile, Hotstar, the mobile app broadcasting Karan Johar's show has taken down the episode featuring the vexed cricketing duo.
